Q

How many towel layers for hot pack?

A

6-8

21
Q

Ultrasound: Effective radiating area vs spatial averaged intensity vs spatial-peak intensity, vs beam nonuniformity ratio

A

ERA: are of the transducer that transmits energy, is always small than the size of the head.
Spatial averaged intensity: the intensity of the U/S beam averaged over the are of the transducer (Watts/cm2).
Peak: intensity of the beam at its highest point
BNR: ratio between the spatial peak intensity and the spacial averaged intensity, lower is better, usually 5:1 to 6:1, can range from from 2:1 to 8:1

22
Q

Why would one use a lower duty cycle like 20% for U/S?

A

For nonthermal effects:
increased cell permeability, increased intracellular calcium levels, facilitation of tissue repair, promotion of normal cell function. Resulting from cavitation (bubbles)

23
Q

An area ___ to ____ times the size of the transducer typically requires 5 minutes of U/S time

A

2-3

24
Q

The most common frequency used for shortwave diathermy is _____MHz

A

27.12

25
Q

When would one choose diathermy vs U/S?

A

Diathermy can heat up to 25 times the size of the U/S area, static application so heat more uniform, rate of tissue cooling is slower, so additional time to perform interventions with warm tissue

26
Q

The types of Hydrotherapy equipment

1) Extremity Tank
2) Lowboy
3) Highboy
4) Hubbard
5) therapeutic poo

A

1) about 10-45 gallons
2) permits long sitting
3) permits sitting in chest-high water with the hips and knees flexed
4) full body immersion (4x8 ft) temp shouldn’t exceed 100 degrees

27
Q

When would you use 25% body weight for lumbar traction, when would you use 50%

A

25% for soft tissue stretch and discs

50% to separate the actual joints

28
Q

Cervical traction angles for upper, mid and lower cervical spine

A

upper: 0-5
mid: 10-20
lower: 25-25

29
Q

A force of ___ to ___ % of pts body weight would be adequate to stretch soft tissue and discs while ____ to ____% body weight would be good for joint distraction for cervical traction

A

7-10% (10-15lbs)

13-20% (20-30lbs)

30
Q

Definition of current, voltage, and resistance

A

Current: directed flow of charge, amperes
Voltage: electrical potential difference, volts
Resistance: voltage/current, ohms

31
Q

What is a monophasic vs biphasic current

A

monophasic: non-continuous direct current
biphasic: non-continuous indirect current

32
Q

Definition of amplitude

A

magnitude of current

33
Q

Frequency for NMES

A

35-50 pulses per second usually required to produce a tetanic contraction, higher won’t produce stronger contraction but will increase fatigue
